Qui, en France, connaît C. L. R. James ? Né en 1901 à Trinidad, alors colonie de la Couronne britannique, et mort à Londres en 1989, celui que le Times dénomma à la fin de sa vie le " Platon noir de notre génération " est pourtant une figure intellectuelle et politique majeure d'un siècle qu'il aura traversé presque de part en part. Intellectuel diasporique par excellence, militant panafricain de la première heure, James a pris part aux grands mouvements de décolonisation de son temps en Afrique et dans la Caraïbe et fut un acteur de premier plan des luttes noires aux États-Unis. Fervent partisan de Trotski avant de rompre avec l'héritage de ce dernier pour défendre la thèse de l'auto-émancipation des masses ouvrières-populaires, James eut un destin étroitement imbriqué dans celui du marxisme au XX e siècle. Pour ce " marxiste noir ", révolution socialiste et luttes anticoloniales-antiracistes étaient intimement enchevêtrées : elles s'inscrivaient dans l'horizon d'une " révolution mondiale " dont la source et le centre ne pouvaient plus être la seule Europe. C'est à celle-ci que James s'est voué corps et âme pendant plus de cinq décennies, débattant et collaborant avec ses contemporains aux quatre coins du monde. Dans une conjoncture où la gauche radicale éprouve de grandes difficultés à renouveler ses stratégies face aux revendications des minorités non blanches et où la critique de l'eurocentrisme bat de l'aile, méditer la vie et l'œuvre de James pourrait se révéler essentiel dans la tâche de construction d'une pensée de l'émancipation qui soit, enfin, à la mesure du monde.

Historian, revolutionary and cricket writer, CLR James was one of the truly radical voices of the twentieth century. Born in Trinidad in the final days of the Victorian era, he debated with Trotsky, played cricket with Constantine, was published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf, inspired Kwame Nkrumah, and was a profound influence on the British Black Power movement.And yet by the late 1970s, CLR James was all but forgotten. The books he had written over the past half century were nearly all out of print. There were a few circles in which his name rang a bell: serious students of Black history; obsessive cricket fans. But that was it.When he died in Brixton in 1989, CLR James was internationally famous - lauded as the greatest of Black British intellectuals: the 'Black Plato', according to The Times.The ideas he put forward in his own time - of the importance of identity alongside class, of rebellion coming from below, of the leading roles of Black people, women and youth in political struggle - have gradually made their way to the forefront of our political thinking. His two great books, The Black Jacobins and Beyond a Boundary, still have the power to change readers' understanding of the world today.But while CLR James's work has been much examined, his long and remarkable life story has often been overlooked. For the first time, in a biography full of original research, human drama and keen insight, John L. Williams unveils the rich and compelling story of an intellectual giant. In doing so, he firmly establishes the importance of CLR James for the twenty-first century - if Black Britain has had a presiding genius, it remains CLR James.

Cyril Lionel Robert James was the great intellectual of the African revolution. He was a friend and inspiration to Kwame Nkrumah and Julius Nyerere, the two leaders of the first generation of independence struggles. His account of Toussaint L'Ouverture's slave rebellion in Haiti is one of the great historical works of the twentieth century. His studies of Hegel and Marx became part of the common knowledge of several generations of radicals in America, Europe, the Caribbean and Africa. Although born in Trinidad, his thought was also shaped by the experience of migration to Britain. James was a product of the colonial education system, a world which shaped him, even as he exposed and fought it. In Britain today, James is known as both for his radicalism and also for his extraordinary autobiography "Beyond a Boundary", by common consent, the greatest book about cricket ever written.

Colonialism left an indelible mark on writers from the Caribbean. Many of the mid-century male writers, on the eve of independence, looked to England for their models. The current generation of authors, many of whom are women, have increasingly looked-and relocated-to the United States. Incorporating postcolonial theory, West Indian literature, feminist theory, and African American literary criticism, Making Men carves out a particular relationship between the Caribbean canon-as represented by C. L. R. James and V. S. Naipaul, among others-and contemporary Caribbean women writers such as Jean Rhys, and Jamaica Kincaid, Paule Marshall, and Michelle Cliff, who now live in the United States. Discussing the canonical Caribbean narrative as it reflects national identity under the domination of English cultural authority, Belinda Edmondson focuses particularly on the pervasive influence of Victorian sensibilities in the structuring of twentieth-century national identity. She shows that issues of race and English constructions of masculinity not only are central to West Indian identity but also connect Caribbean authorship to the English literary tradition. This perspective on the origins of West Indian literary nationalism then informs Edmondson's search for female subjectivity in current literature by West Indian women immigrants in America. Making Men compares the intellectual exile of men with the economic migration of women, linking the canonical male tradition to the writing of modern West Indian women and exploring how the latter write within and against the historical male paradigm in the continuing process of national definition. With theoretical claims that invite new discourse on English, Caribbean, and American ideas of exile, migration, race, gender identity, and literary authority, Making Men will be informative reading for those involved with postcolonial theory, African American and women's studies, and Caribbean literature.
